After hearing what he said, Li Ben swallowed hard.
Put it this way, the reliability of this news is really high!
Moreover, judging from the situation these days, it seems that this is the only explanation that can explain why the emperor has not shown up for half a month.
This sudden stroke really gave them a chance!
But the most important thing now is to know the emperor's current physical condition.
If it is not serious, even if the lower body cannot move, the throne will still be very stable.
However, if the emperor was speechless, the situation would be different.
"How is His Majesty's condition now? Can you possibly get accurate information?"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Ben asked.
"My lord, you are joking. Did you ask the wrong person about the news in the palace?"
Zhong Lixin smiled, then raised his glass and toasted Li Ben.
Li Ben only reacted at this moment. He was really concerned and confused. Why should he ask him this kind of news?
Although Li Ji is not very favored in the palace now, in terms of status, she is definitely the highest.
As a foreign minister, even if I haven't seen the emperor for half a month, my sister should be fine...
"This matter is of great importance, I need to go back and think about it carefully!"
No matter what we plan to do next, the most important thing now is to confirm how the emperor's condition is?
Only after this is clarified can we have a plan for what will happen next.
"Sir, walk slowly!"
Zhong Lixin smiled, said nothing, and said goodbye to Li Ben directly.
He himself knew very well that for such a big matter, Li Ben would not take the bait without knowing the emperor's physical condition.
After all, this is a head-turning business, and the risks are not generally high.
However, as long as this news is true, he is not afraid that this fool will not come to him.
After all, the two brothers and sisters actually did not have a deep foundation in the imperial court.
On the contrary, the Queen Mother is really good at dancing. Not only does she have a good relationship with the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother in the palace, it is said that her relationship with Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is not generally good either.
With such an opponent here, there is no fear that the two brothers will not take the bait.
"Where's Madam?"
After hurriedly returning to his home, Li Ben asked the old housekeeper directly.
"Madam, madam should be in the back house at this time!"
Although the old housekeeper didn't know what happened to Li Ben, he still hurriedly said.
"You need someone to prepare a gift for me now, and then go find my wife!"
After Li Ben gave the order, he hurried to his study room.
"Master, what happened?"
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Li Ben's wife Song opened the door and walked in.
"You guys go out first and close the door!"
Li Ben did not answer his question, but directly kicked out all her maids.
"What happened?"
Mrs. Song asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"I have asked someone to prepare a gift for you. You should be ready to enter the palace immediately and help me bring this letter into the palace!"
As Li Ben spoke, he hurriedly handed the letter in his hand to Mrs. Song.
"Remember, you must hand this letter to your empress with your own hands!"
"Is there anything you can't say directly, but you still have to write it down on paper?"
Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment and asked with some confusion.
"You know what the heck! Just do whatever I ask you to do. Remember it. No matter what, this letter must be handed over to the empress with your own hands. No one is allowed to read it, including yourself!"
Li Ben knew very well what his mother-in-law was like. This woman was just a big mouth.
Tell her such a confidential thing, isn't it something that's waiting to harm her?
If it weren't for the fact that it was inconvenient for him to enter the palace at this time, how could such a matter be handed over to a woman?
"promise!"
Seeing that Li Ben lost his temper, Mrs. Song immediately did not dare to continue talking nonsense, so she hurriedly responded, turned around and walked out.
After Song left, Li Ben fell into a long wait.
This is the most painful time. But he himself also understood that there was no need to rush this matter, and it would be unsightly if flaws were revealed at this time.
If this news can be confirmed to be true, then he is not far away from becoming a great man. As long as the prince can successfully ascend to the throne, then his country's uncle will naturally be prosperous.
The title Prime Minister Li seems to be a good choice.
The sky slowly became dark, and the eldest princess finally returned to her mansion.
"Your Highness, you are finally back. There is a guest who has been waiting for a long time!"
As soon as the eldest princess got off the carriage, the steward of the family came over immediately.
"Didn't I tell you? The princess is not in good health these days and has not seen any guests!"
Things in the palace have been so busy recently that the eldest princess is dizzy. Now at this time, she can't wait to split her into two people. How can she still think about meeting any guests?
"Your Highness, you must meet this person!"
"Who is this person that I, the princess, must go to see?"
"Your Highness, please look!"
While the steward was speaking, he took out a token from his sleeve.
"Where is he?"
After seeing the token, the eldest princess suddenly felt happy.
"The guest is waiting in the mansion now!"
"Did anyone see him entering the house?"
The eldest princess looked at it privately and then whispered.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I know the importance!"
"Very good, you did a good job on this matter! Take me to see him immediately!"
All the way to a small courtyard in the backyard, the steward stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation to the eldest princess.
"You stay here and no one is allowed to come near me until I come out!"
"promise!"
After seeing no one around, the eldest princess walked into the courtyard.
"Auntie, you made me wait so hard!"
As soon as the eldest princess entered the door, Liu Deng said with a smile.
"You brat, you're still laughing at this time!"
Seeing the mean smile on his face, the eldest princess glared at him angrily.
"What is going on? Your Majesty is still in his prime, how could it be possible..."
Seeing that the eldest princess had reached out to grab his ear, Liu Deng quickly changed the topic for the sake of his ears.
"It's not your kid who's causing trouble. You've been hiding in Jinyang City for the past two years and enjoying yourself. Do you know how your uncle lives his life?"
Although the eldest princess's hand stopped in mid-air, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Can you blame me for this?"
Liu Deng smiled bitterly. He was driven out of Chang'an City back then...
